Introduction

The following lists of place names have been compiled because a settlement or geographical feature is sometimes named after a person with that surname (though most of the original settlements in the colonies were named by their founders after places in the UK with which they were associated).

But one must also bear in mind that the converse is also true: when surnames were evolving, persons migrating sometimes acquired a surname from their place of origin (such as a person from Halstead in Essex being known as John of Halstead, later shortened to John Halstead).

United States

Follow the USGS link, where shown, to the description page for that feature on the U.S. Board on Geographic Names website, then click a link in the Mapping Services box to display the feature in your choice of mapping service (of which ‘Expedia’ is one). Note that a feature with “historical” following the name no longer exists and is no longer visible on the landscape, such as a demolished building – a ghost town is not a historical feature if it is still visible.

If no USGS link is shown, follow the EXP link (where shown) to view the map of the place on the ‘Find a Map’ section of the Expedia web site.
